As the years pass, Pavel struggles to overcome the stigma of his father's crime and the abuse he has suffered. Meanwhile, Maria flourishes in her new home, but she longs to be reunited with her brother. Eventually, their paths cross again, and Pavel must confront his past and make a choice that will determine his future.
